ECONOMY IN ALL THINGS.

TO THE EDITOR. Snt. — It was with much pleasure that I read Archdeacon WilliV letter in Saturday's Times, on the >übjoct of co-operation. It must be evident, even to an indiffeient observer, that business generally ii over done, and that in nearly all branches of trade then* are about twice as many places of business as are needed, and the necessary e\pense of carrying them un, \\ liich mu->t be recouped by somebody, entaiK a heavy charge on the consumer. The idea suggested by Archdeacon Willis i«. an admirable one, but I think he might carry >ifc out still further. For instance, we have in Cambridge five places of public worship, which represeut a locked-up capital of over £5000. Then there are stipends paid, and <3ther expenses incurred, which bring the cost to the public to at least £2000 a year, which is a very heavy tay on a population thafc can only raise £300 annually by means of rates, for the purposes of sanitation, roads, and all other necessaries. Now all the work at present done by the clergy niight with advantage be done by one, or at most by two, well paid, thoroughly efficient, 'and eloquent men ; saving at least a £1000 tt'year, which would be more than ample to Tsnpply the town with both water and gas ; or, if the amount was kept in the jweketa of the ratepayers it would enable some of them -tg pay their bills more punctually, and so perhaps save some of the " weaker " of the •tojrejceepera from " going to the wall."— l /in, yours obediently Economist.
